In the last Simon Says Stamp card kit there were some beautiful flower background patterned papers. I thought if I toned them down by adding a panel of vellum over the background it could make a pretty sympathy card.
I cut the patterned paper to fit the front of an A2 cardbase and adhered it in place with dotliner adhesive.
I cut a panel of vellum using the pretty My Favorite Things Stitched Eyelet Lace Rectangle Die. The difficulty when using vellum is how to attach it, since glue can be seen through the vellum. I decided to cut a thin white frame and add it to the scalloped rectangle. This would allow me to add glue behind the frame and attach the vellum panel to the front of the card.
I looked through my flower dies to find something that would complement the flowers in the patterned paper and decided to use the Altenew Craft-a-Flower Cosmos. I cut the layers from white cardstock and ink blended a very soft aqua center. I kept the flower centers a very light yellow. I added a little of White Blizzard Glitter Drop to the centers. In keeping with the color of the leaves on the patterned paper the leaves were ink blended a soft mint green.
The flowers were arranged and adhered to the right of the vellum panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam squares. The sentiment was then stamped with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed white in the lower left of the panel.
A few clear droplets were scattered around the flowers. I also decided to use three small, white butterflies.
